Read Any Good Books Lately?

steady.substack.com

Early in the summer, we asked all of you about what you were reading and what you might recommend to others. We pegged the query to the season, and the prospects of days at the beach, in the country, or just hanging around home on a languid evening buried in the pages of a great book. It turned out to be one of our most popular midweek conversations. Your suggestions poured in, and they were incredibly insightful. We were not surprised to find out that the Steady community is also a community of serious readers. 

So now, even though summer is firmly in the rear-view mirror, we suspect that many of you are still plowing through new lists of titles, be it fiction, nonfiction, travel, graphic novels, mystery, poetry, or any other of the other infinite genres that entertain, educate, provoke, calm, and unnerve us, as only great writing can. 

So here we go again. What are you reading? Did you make it through your summer lists? What book surprised you, or even disappointed you? What would you recommend? Did you reread a favorite? We at Steady can’t wait to read your suggestions and thoughts in the comments section.

Looking forward to the comments!

Listening to more audio books as my eyesight worsens.

However my daily reading is not yet a book (but will be) -

Heather Cox Richardson's Letters From An American.

The BEST distillation of all the chaotic, overwhelming events of the day, with running commentary on the nation's history. There are currents in the flow of the river of Time. She is helping us navigate the white-water rapids and scattered boulders.

Killers of the Flower Moon, an investigation into the Osage murders in the ‘20s. Highly recommended.
